Organization and evolution of alpha satellite DNA from human chromosome 11
Abstract
The human alpha satellite repetitive DNA family is organized as distinct chromosomal subsets located at the centromeric regions of each human chromosome. Here, we describe a subset of the alpha satellite which is localized to human chromosome 11. The principal unit of repetition of this alpha satellite subset is an 850 bp XbaI fragment composed of five tandem diverged alphoid monomers, each ∼171 bp in length. The pentamer repeat units are …
